Cloth is cool
January 30, 2007 8:00 am Cost CuttersOne way to save a bucket load of money is to use cloth instead of paper whenever possible. Now, we still use the Charmin©, but we’ve replaced most other paper in this house with cloth. We use cloth diapers on the babies. In the kitchen, we use cheap dish towels instead of paper towels.
It may surprise you to know that my family of 10 generally makes less than a garbage can full of garbage each week. I’m talking about the ones the trash service gives out, now, not the one you bought for your kitchen. So not only does this save money, it also reduces the amount of garbage you are hauling out to the curb. And we all know that garbage has to go somewhere, right?

I’m all about things that are re-usable!
or at the very least recyclable!

That is a really good idea and we just might be implementing that.
